Good Hardware

It generally takes a lot to get me to really like a piece of hardware, thoroughly. For example, my experience of Fujitsu-Siemens' customer service was nothing but excellent, but the only reason I had so much contact with them was that my laptop's inverter went three times (to their credit, it's been fine for the past two years or so now, and my brother is still happily using it, but that laptop still sheds screws at the rate of around one a year).

However, a bit over a year ago, I decided to invest in some bluetooth headphones, and picked a pair of Jabra BT620s (warning: flash music thingy) semi-randomly from the field of available devices. A year later, and I can honestly say they're one of the better things I've bought this decade.

HeThEv

As some people know, and many don't, I got accepted into Nokia's N810 device program, which means I get this wonderful piece of technology* for a wonderful price.

Fun with Linux and A2DP

My headphones broke last Tuesday, and so I naturally went to buy some more. However, my eye caught this post, and since I actually had some spare cash just begging to be used, I decided to go ahead and buy some Jabra BT620s headphones.

Introducing Spindle

The n800 has quite a few media players already, and they all have their good points. None, however, seemed to be very useful, or indeed easy to use, while walking; if you want to change song, they all need you to get the n800 out of your pocket, unlock the screen, tap a button, lock the screen again, and put it back.

RMaze

Time to announce my latest diversion from real life: RMaze. It's a puzzle game, involving a maze (yes, really), marbles (good <em>and</em> bad), pits, lasers, mines, and some annoying hills and dimples. It's based on an old game called MegaMaze that had nearly exactly the same principle, albeit without 'good' graphics or expandability (like an open maze file format).
